Tell us about the house2. The sale, step by step
From the first conversation to settlement
Talk through the house and situation
Tell us what you know about the North Platte house, its condition, occupancy, access, ownership, and timing. An estate, tenant, lien, payoff, tax account, code notice, or move deadline can be part of the conversation even if some details are still open.
Review the property as it sits
We ask practical questions about the house and review its current condition. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We can also talk through listing, repairs, waiting, or another sale path.
Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions before you decide whether to proceed, compare another option, or stop before signing.
Work through title and payoffs
If you choose to proceed, the title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. Bring the statements, notices, or estate papers you have so it can check what applies to this property.
Review the settlement sheet and close
The settlement sheet shows how the sale money breaks down. We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers. You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
3. Two ways to sell
Compare the Cash Offer and EZ Sale
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

The program terms do not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes; those remain separate settlement items.
4. Local details
Confirm the right local jurisdiction for the address
North Platte is in Lincoln County, but a market-level county lookup does not decide the jurisdiction for a particular parcel. Confirm the actual address with the appropriate local office before relying on city or county jurisdiction.
5. Closing numbers
Review the settlement sheet and Nebraska documentary stamp tax
The settlement sheet lays out the sale price, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, costs, and amount scheduled for disbursement. Nebraska charges documentary stamp tax when a deed transfers real estate. State law places the tax on the seller signing the deed; it is paid to the county Register of Deeds when the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt.
For a taxable transfer before January 1, 2032, the rate is $3.32 for each $1,000 of value or part of $1,000. For example, a $100,000 taxable transfer has $332 in documentary stamp tax. The rate is set to drop to $2.32 after that date.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.

6. When things get difficult
We stay with the process
It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.
